What i find is that people now a days are just plain dumb, it's as simple as that.

personally i've always been into learning and learning more and more about things that interest me. Technology is huge for that, i watch a little show on the bible or some random event that happend 10, 20, 2000 years ago, i can search up and in half an hour i'm an expert on the subject.

Working in construction you obviously run into a lot of characters and idiots but also a lot of young people coming into the work force etc. and When i have conversations with these people it's like i'm talking to an 8 year old. They will go on about their "interests" and the second they open their mouth, i know that i know more than they do about the subject.

So let me get this straight.. something YOU'RE apperanelty passionate about, or have a great interest in, I read about briefly on a whim, or just as part of somthing else i was checking out, and you litterally know NOTHING about it.. wtf?..

Also i dont think it will be technology as the downfall, but moreso the health implications that come with it.

With my quite basic understanding of the human body, health care, first aid training etc. Back in the pre-connected generations, everyone was "active" even overweight, unsocial kids had some sort of phyiscal activity they took part in, even if it was things like scouts, etc.

Notice how now, the "recommended physical activity" changed from 30 minutes a day to an hour? it's because the governments are realizing that your body starts deteriorating as a child. it's not a matter of becoming an adolescent and getting into sports etc. Your arteries are building up plaque from the day you are born. Kids these days who are getting absolutely no physical activity are simply shortening their life spans and going to be a HUGEEEE drain on society as cardio vascular diseases become even more rampant than they already are.
